Toronto, ON [October 1, 2015] — All Play, No Work Inc. today released Weirdwood Manor, a magical interactive book series for 6 – 12 year olds and their parents.

Developed exclusively for the iPad, each book in the five book series features 30 – 90 minutes of reading and play time.

Full of mystery and adventure, The Incredible Tales of Weirdwood Manor aims to inspire children to celebrate their uniqueness, recognize their talents, and embrace their imagination.
